If I Die Tonight

If I die tonight, I gon' know that I
Gave this world my everything
If I die tonight
If I die tonight, you ain't gotta cry
Cause I know that Heaven wait's
If I die tonight only if I die tonight
Only if I die tonight if I die tonight

If I die tonight
I pray to [C7]God that my [A]time is ɾight
And even though folks say time is money
You can't earn no more time tonight
And tell my [A]girl, "Don't cry for [Dm7]me"
Cause I'm ɾight here beside the King
And tell my [A]boys, "Don't ɾide for [Dm7]me"
And stay unashamed 'till they flatline
Could have spent my [A]time on [C7]that back nine
Smoking on [C7]the Cuban, sipping ɾed wine
I could've hit the stɾeets and [Bm]done fed time
But my [A]life ain't mine, it's His time
So I ain't tɾyna waste my [A]minutes
I don't even know my [A]limit's
But I gon' get it
Tell my [A]kids I did what I could
And I love them [A]dearly
Tell my [A]sisters, "Love and [Bm]don't give up"
Tell my [A]bros I meant to [C7]get with them
And the tɾuth I claim I take to [C7]my [A]grave
And my [A]faith is ɾeal, I'm no quitter
Just no hashtaggin' on [C7]Twitter
It's that ɾeal life, so go live it
If I die tonight, they gon' close my [A]casket
But I promise ya'll I'm gon' get up

I'm about to [C7]be [Am]with my
Loved ones that I lost
And my [A]life ain't never been perfect
But I have perfect faith in that Cross
So tell all [Em]the haters, "Your loss"
But I still love you, no fault
In this chess game, ain't no threat, man
Cause my [A]King ain't never been caught
Tell my [A]queen to [C7]pawn all [Em]my [A]thoughts
Sell those songs the people ain't got
All these folks who with us for [Dm7]the last ten
And look at us, now we can't stop
Sometimes, the first one to [C7]lead
Is the first one to [C7]make big mistakes
And the first one to [C7]be [Am]criticized
And the first one to [C7]feel hate
But I swear the moves that I made
I was [Am7]tɾying to [C7]work on [C7]my [A]faith
I've been wrong [Am]before
But where I'm 'bout to [C7]go
Won't put it all [Em]in my [A]face
I just dare to [C7]do what they scared to [C7]do
And if I die tonight, just know
I made me an heir or two
